Efforts continue to restore power across Nova Scotia after the province experienced more than 20 hours of freezing rain Friday and Saturday.
Nova Scotia Power says about 120,000 customers lost power during the storm as a result of a thick build-up of ice on trees, power lines and equipment.

Matt Drover, Nova Scotia Power storm lead, says the utility has about 600 people on the ground helping to restore power.
There were still about 24,000 customers without electricity at midday Sunday.
Drover says road conditions and storm debris have slowed crews from getting to impacted areas.
He says the utility is working with Public Works and the provincial Emergency Measures Organization to address the challenges.
